What it is

Instant green tea powder is made from dried green tea leaves that have been processed to dissolve quickly in water. Green tea itself comes from the *Camellia sinensis* plant, native to East Asia. The leaves are typically steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation, then dried and ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use instant green tea powder to add a green tea flavor and color to a variety of products. It is commonly found in beverages like iced teas, powdered drink mixes, and flavored waters. It can also be used in some baked goods and confectionery.

Health notes

Instant green tea powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Green tea contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which have been studied for potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated green tea extracts, but specific evaluations for instant green tea powder may vary. Evidence on the long-term health effects of concentrated green tea extracts is still being researched.

Allergen info

Instant green tea powder is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
